Filling the Void, Tim Walsh – Video and Discussion Outline
Tim Walsh talks about the role substance abuse plays in filling the void in the lives of young people.
Questions for Discussion:
- How do our youth fill the void between the physical and the spiritual? How do we?
- How, without vilifying substance abuse and other addiction issues, can we help youth find another way to fill this void? What role can the church play in this?
- How might we not be too instructional, but instead create a space for allowing youth to seek that spiritual relationship?
